Why is miscellaneous using 25%? Anyone knows if there's any settings I need to switch off?

Yup. Game play is very smooth and doesn't lag at all. I got this tablet mainly for it too. but miscellaneous is draining my battery too much during standby!

sorry noob question, if i use ipad 2.4A charger, can the tablet take it? below the tablet it says 2A

i once asked a friend this question. the reply i got was "the tablet will only take max at what it can take or the max of the charger if it is less than what the tablet can"

i have a question myself too. if i buy a 2 port usb power adapter that says output 3A. if i use both usb concurrently, does the 3A gets split into 2 or each port will serve 3A?

Each port output will be 1.5A.

3A in total for the 2 ports.

3A in total for the 2 ports.

so if i only make use of 1 of the port at 1 time i get full 3A?

no, usually max is 2.4 or 2.1A depending on your device and the cable you're using

this is suppose to be a bug..

apparently suppose to be solve in the latest 1.1 update.. but now the 1.1 update got wifi issues so its pulled.

 

[idjekyll]

this tablet is awesome but very rough around the edges. hope it gets ironed out very soon.

to get 3A, yr charger must support output of it on one of ports.

yr cable use to charge must support the 3A

yr device must support charging of 3A also.

otherwise it will just fall back to the common one.


correct me if im wrong

Anyone knows how to clear dalvik cache and cache in recovery for non rooted shield tablet?

actually how do i even test the output of each port? if the port is 3A but cable is not, the inaccurate reading might be due to cable and not the port hor? hahaha...

with that, if the 3A output will be shared with the no. of devices that is charging concurrently, i can say that there's no need to buy branded (anker or aukey) charger right?

Use one of this

http://www.banggood.com/Mini-USB-Vo...rger-Capacity-Tester-with-Shell-p-946341.html

The Anker/Aukey charger have higher wattage which allows concurrent charging at it's max amp of usually 2.1-2.4A per port.

Calculate wattage is P (W)=V(Voltage usually 5) X I(Current which is the amps).

 

[guile]

The Anker 6 ports which is rated 60W will give about 10W per port which is about 2A at 5v.

But of course if you use the QC 2.0 port and your device supports it, the 5 remaining ports will share the remaining wattage equally if all is being used at the same time which can be less than 2A per port.

You can read my thread about how things gets charged.

One thing to note. Chargers that are rated 3A, 5A or more does not equate that it will charge any device at whatever the charger is rated at.

Smart devices will only take what is rated for the manufacturer battery.

Example, a Quick charge 2.0 device such as Samsung S6, its battery is able to charge at a maximum voltage of 9v & 1.67A. If there is no quick charge charger, it will only take in 5v & 1.73A.

No matter what charger you put, example a traditional 5v 2.1A charger, it will only charge at 5v 1.73A. It will not pull 2.1A.

However there are some devices that will take 2.1A. Such devices are like the iPad Mini, iPad...

The current new standard is USB Type C, which can go up to 5v 3A. Its objective is to fast charge just like Quick charge 2.0. But Type C cables are meant to widthstand high output current. Unlike Type A which could only take in max 2.4A.

Presently trying to find a power bank that can output 5V 3A for a single port for my Nexus 5X. Most can only output max 5V 2.4A.

The only power bank that I've found is Red Monster's Big Bang power bank but it's freaking ex, for 10kmAh, it's $100 at Challenger and $80 at Lazada.

got my moko case from amazon!! snug and fitting!!

Type C ports on 5x or 6p can go 3A. BUT only if both sides are type C. If one side is Type A, it will go max 5v 1.5A ONLY.

That will also depends on the cables being used. A certified Type A to C cables must have 50 ohms resistors inside. If its not certified, you risk burning your own charger or power bank.

I suggest you go for RAVPower 20100mAh with type C port. This will give you proper 5v 3A to charge your nexus 5x.
